If Trump is removed from office, who would be the next president?

When Franklin Roosevelt died in 1945, Vice President Harry S. Truman assumed the presidency. Two years later, Truman signed the 1947 Presidential Succession Act, which names the vice president first in line, followed by the speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore.

In the event of a Trump impeachment and subsequent removal from office, the chain of command would be as follows: Vice President Mike Pence, Speaker Paul Ryan, Sen. Orrin Hatch.

After the president pro tempore of the Senate, U.S. Code Title 3 grants power to the secretaries who spearhead the 15 executive departments, starting with the secretary of state — in Trump's case, Rex Tillerson.
